Butterfly Clicking Guide: How to Get 20+ CPS

Butterfly clicking is one of the most popular high-CPS techniques in competitive gaming. When done correctly, it lets players reach 16–25+ clicks per second. Here’s everything you need to know to master it.

What Is Butterfly Clicking?

Butterfly clicking involves placing two fingers (usually index and middle) on the mouse button and alternating them in a rapid, butterfly-wing motion. Each finger registers a separate click, effectively doubling your potential CPS score.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

Step 1: Position your fingers
Rest both your index and middle fingers lightly on the left mouse button. Don’t press yet — just let them hover in contact.

Step 2: Alternate the taps
Start tapping each finger alternately in a fluid, rolling motion — like playing piano keys. The goal is a consistent rhythm.

Step 3: Build speed gradually
Don’t try to go fast immediately. Build up the muscle memory with slow, controlled alternations before speeding up.

Step 4: Test your progress
After each practice session, measure your click speed on QuickCPSTest.com. This gives you accurate data on whether your technique is improving.

Tips for Better Results

  • Use a mouse with sensitive, light buttons
  • Keep your wrist relaxed to avoid fatigue
  • Practice 10–15 minutes daily
  • Always warm up before testing

Is Butterfly Clicking Allowed?

Some Minecraft servers and games ban butterfly clicking due to the speed advantage it provides. Always check server rules before using it in competitive play.
